Command Network Systems Analyst

Scismic is supporting an applied analytics company providing media and information services by making complex environments accessible through actionable data. They help clients operate in countries across Africa, Eurasia, and the Middle East through data analytics, crowdsourcing, and custom applied solutions.

The company is seeking a Command Network Systems Analyst to serve in a program that will support the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) Allied Command Transformation (ACT) – NATO’s leading agent for change: driving, facilitating, and advocating the continuous improvement of Alliance capabilities to maintain and enhance the military relevance and effectiveness of the Alliance. The main objectives of ACT are providing appropriate support to NATO missions and operations; leading NATO military transformation; improving relationships, interaction and practical cooperation with partners, nations, and international organizations. ACT therefore leads Alliance concept development, capability development, training and lessons learned initiatives and provides unfettered military support to policy development within NATO

.
The work will include the planning and execution of the NATO Command Network Strategy Development workshop in Europe and the subsequent development of an ACT implementation plan for coordination and signature. The NATO Command Network will also need to accentuate the interoperability in the Alliance Federation, the proper capability enhancements will have to be developed in order to inform the FMN Spiral Specification Roadmap. The integration of CWIX related trials as a result of NCN needs are also addressed. The development or Roadmap inputs can be by one approach through engaging with FMN IWG and CPWG syndicates where there are currently no ACT SMEs participation. Further, analysis of capability requirements of existing and planned capability programs versus the conceptual needs of MDO and cross-domain command will have to be captured in a gap analysis and capability requirement developed and plans to allocate those programming developed. Finally, work to include those requirements as well as FMN related requirements will need to be progressed through this contracto
